More Murphys Cahir vicinity

Hi Lyn,  Here is some information from rootsireland.ie on your inquiry.  Edmund Murphy and Mary Gorman were married in 1838 in Clogheen and I found three daughters with parents of the same names baptised in Ballylooby and Clogheen, both Roman Catholic churches not far from one another.  The puzzle that you will need to sort out is that both Margaret and Catherine were baptised in 1841, one in Clogheen and the other in Ballylooby.  I looked up the original baptism certificate on the Catholic Parish Registers at the NLI (registers.nli.ie) and both gave the identical names of Edmund Murphy and Mary Gorman!  You will have to sort through that.  Anyway, I hope this helps.

Thank you Rob. That is very helpful and it does supply information my contact did not have. Are you the contact person now for Cahir? I do hope Tom is hail and hearty an I send my regards to him. Thanks again Rob.

Hi Lyn,  No, I am just another searcher like you trying to find out about my Irish ancestry!  My Anglin ancestors (also spelled Anglum and Anglim) came from around Cahir about the same time period.   I have uncovered many Anglins who were baptised at Ballylooby Roman Catholic Church so I was familiar with the area your ancestors came from.  Good luck with your search.  If I can be of any other help let me know.  Thanks.  Rob

Very kind of you Rob. Where do you live and have you visited the area? I live in Australia and have been to Cahir environs three times now in the last few years. I feel like I do come from the area although the connection dates back to my great great grandmother Margaret Murphy and her sisters who arrved in Sydney in January 1841.
